For 19 years? The last good game they made was breath of the wild and tears of the kingdom. Before that was odyssey and smash came out years ago. Are people just buying the same games over and over again?
You have to remember that your taste isn't the only taste in video games. For example, you didn't mention Animal Crossing which was an insane smash hit for sales. The Pokémon games sold extraordinarily well. Splatoon continues to kill in sales. Kirby is another one that sold like hotcakes.
New games have been coming out and selling like gangbusters. You just didn't notice because they're not the ones you, personally, play.
Oh yeah I forgot about animal crossing. I used to love Kirby too how'd I forget about that. Pokemon is just bad tho haha. That is my opinion but I'm sticking to it
Also I do consider games that aren't my taste. I was just mentioning the biggest releases Nintendo made I don't like Mario Odyssey and haven't play breath of the wild yet
Spoken like somebody who has never played the timeless classic that is ARMS 🤧
Ha ha funny joke, but actually though, ARMS kind of slaps. Pun intended. I had a lot of fun with that game, it's a really neat twist on the fighting game genre.
ARMS is so underrated
Hey, I genuinely loved Arms.
Yeah I haven't yet actually
Splatoon is one of the biggest games in Japan
That makes sense. All the characters are 8 and under
Those games weren't good
